X Factor star George Shelley reveals horror surgery left artery ‘cut in two’

Gay X Factor star George Shelley has revealed surgeons accidentally cut a major artery in his mouth while he underwent surgery to remove his tonsils. 

The Union J singer was stuck in hospital for a week earlier this year, coinciding with bandmate Jaymi Hensley mourning the death of his fiancé Oliver Marmon.

“It’s been a really tough year, to be honest,” Shelley admitted. “I had my tonsils out and my artery was cut in two. I was in hospital for a week.

“I lost a lot of blood and during that I was bereaved, my bandmate’s fiancé Olly, and dealing with grief again,” he told The Sun.
